  Samvel Krajian is a Los Angeles based composer and media artist whose work exists at the intersection of music, art and technology. Growing up, Krajian was continuously exposed to Armenian folk music through his community, providing a foundation for his musical instincts and a constant source of inspiration. Experimental in nature, his projects raise questions on the sensory and tangible experiences of the post-digital era. Krajian’s work continues to illustrate an exploration of diasporic identities, and a curiosity of the expressive potential of creative technologies. Krajian is currently studying towards a B.M. in Composition at the University of Southern California’s Thornton School of Music, where he has studied with Ted Hearne, Nina Young, and Camae Ayewa. 
  
  
  My project entails the creation of a music video and performance environment for the final track of my EP ENERGIA, titled
  “//SCORCH// `;^;` +~blooom~+”
  This project is initiated alongside my collaborator Kai Tattersall, who is the co-founder of the production studio ARTI studios, which specializes in utilizing AI technologies to texture and stylize live action footage.  This project aims to explore experimental and unconventional methods of collaborations between interdisciplinary artists - in this case, between musicians and filmmakers. In its completion, this project will bring forth both a music video, and a live performance. The music video portion of this project will focus on this single piece of music mentioned above, whereas the live performance will move further into the dance music genres, while retaining the same cinematic vigor and aesthetics.
